Jaat hit the theatres on April 10, 2025 and received a lukewarm response at the box office. The movie was praised for its action and cast performances, however it did not achieve the expected amount of commercial success. The movie is still running in theatres and recently, the director of Jaat opened up about the film’s box office collection. He even admitted that the Sunny Deol-starrer could've got 'bigger numbers' at the box office.
In an interview with Midday, director Gopichand Malineni said, “The censor clearance got delayed. So, our advance booking window opened only a day before the release. Had it opened two-three days earlier, we would’ve got bigger opening numbers. But since then, it has only grown.:
The director revealed that the CBFC initially did not mention any cut for the trailer, but they were later told to blur the background in the movie’s print. “It was done even before people objected. If a film has to be a blockbuster, it has to be watched by as many people as possible. No filmmaker wants to hurt any people or community. We want to entertain them," he further added.
